“To be naked is to be without disguise. To be on display is to have the surface of one’s own skin, the hairs of one’s own body turned into a disguise, a disguise that cannot be discarded.”-John Berger

#speedandspace

Inspired by Paul Virilio's theories of speed, this work explores virtual space through process and material. With today's technology we are able to be in many places at one time, breaking physical barriers and expanding capabilities of interaction. 2D gestural drawings of images appropriated from virtual intimate relationships and hand drawn patterns were produced digitally, then incorporated into a 3D virtual space within Maya. Afterward, the space was then photographed (rendered) into 2D works paralleling our digital existence. The series includes the renderings, gestural drawings, and further manipulated images.

#facetime

The #facetime series includes digital prints and gifs of video stills from cyber sex ‘performances.’ The abstracted movement in the images references the perceived intimacy and autonomy of technical communications, the tangled conditions of objectification versus personal empowerment, and public versus private. “I think of this work as painting with virtual life and attempt to use color, line, and movement to create a sense of the feminine tensions underlying the work.” These tensions within personal pornography and her research, include the negative influences of the pornography industry, revenge porn, and social conditioning of female objectification and degradation, contrasted with positive narratives that include use in healthy relationships, body acceptance, sexual empowerment, and the ability to use body image to manipulate the standard binary language of gender.

8===D

Still commonly used, text and email led the way as precursors to the vast array of ‘real-time’ options available today and formed commonalities in the framework of interpersonal connections. My installation, B===D, examines the structure of disclosure of self through personal images transmitted through email or text. This work consists of vinyl marketing banners. Each banner displays a towering image of a penis obtained through Craigslist ads. The ads are positioned dominantly above viewing level on each banner, in similar colors to the background and only noticeable upon closer inspection. These images reflect a shift in culture. In the past, sharing a photograph of your sexual organ would have been far from mainstream culture, but development in the structure of interpersonal relations through technology has made far more normative behavior. I am interested in this physically disconnected and perceived intimate experience of interpersonal relationships, cultural expectations, and self-identity in relation to the social structure of techno-culture.
